Third Annual UlsterCorps Coat + Holiday Wish List Drive

From now through December 20th, 2011, UlsterCorps will be collecting donations of Coats and Holiday Wish List items requested by local service agencies. Special thanks to AJ of Royal King Cleaners who, for the third year, is generously offering his two stores as collection sites for coats and cleaning them for free.

Other Holiday wishlist items listed below should be dropped off with the specific agency that requested them. Volunteers willing to help with pickups would be greatly appreciated! If you can help please contact UlsterCorps at 481-0331 or email ulstercorps@gmail.com .
